The New York city Democrats made a
very bad mistake in throwing De Lancey
Nicoll overheard for Col. Fellows. Nicoll
was undoubtedly the first choice Of the re-
spectacle element, but Tammany and the
"low-downers" feared he could not be trust
ed to prosecute with discretion; in other
words, they feared that If political boss
got caught in the meshes Of the law Nlcoll
could not be relied upon to ''let up" on him
and permit him to escape. Col. Fellows, on
the other hand, has been one of the "boys''
himself, and is dear TO their hearts. They
thoughthe would be sufficiently discreet I'm
fortunately for them the public saw through
their design, and the Republicans by nomin-
ating Nicoll have given them an opportunity
to defeat 1t. Evidentlylthe feeling is very
strong against Fellows, for the cry is going
up from several Of the most prominent
Democratic papers that unless he is with
drawn the Democratic State ticket will GER
tainly be defeated.

Gen. Butler in his appeal 10 the Supreme
Court in behalf of the condemned Anarchists
raises the point that the method by which
evidence was obtained against them, by
breaking open their desks and abstracting
their private letters, was in violation of the
clause Of the constitution which guarantees
the persons and property of citizens
against searches without warrants, mas
much as the officers had no warrants at the
time. This objection does not impeach the
truthfulness of the testimony NOR does it tend
In any way to affect the justice Of the verdict.
However the Anarchists were entitled to be
tried according to the strict forms of law and
If those forms have been departed from in
any essential particular they are entitled to
another trial 1t is not likely however that
In either of Gen. Buffers points-the one
that affects the legality of the jury or the
one that touches the legality of the testi-
mony-will the Supreme Court find sufficient
ground for setting aside the verdict.

one Of her colonies lukewarm and languid.
What effect this sort Of talk will have ON the
English commissioners remains to be seen.
but if it succeeds in influencing them to back
up Canada's desires in every essential partic-
ular the lasthope of an arrangement through
the commission will have vanished.

Our esteemed contemporary, The New
Age. insinuates that THE PRESS has ex-
pressed approval of Constable Stevenson's
shooting of the tramp, Shorty. The Age
knows perfectly well however that we have
notexpressed any opinion on that question at
all The paragraph which The New Age
quotes simply deprecated the wasting of
good poetry over such desplcable fellow as
Shorty was. But il the Democratic press
wants to embalm him and introduce him
into the next campaign wreathed with
flowers and tender sentiments we have no
objections certainly. From a purely parti-
san standpoint we should rather enjoy the
spectacle which the leaders of the warning
factions of the Maine Democracy would pre-
sent, standing with uncovered heads around
the bier Of Shorty and swearing to ayenge
his death at the ballot box.

The prospect Of settlement'nf the Fishery
question by Mr.. Bayard's commission, if
there ever was any, is growing beautifully
less. With the people of the United States
the idea of commission has never been
popular, but as the President neglected to
use the weapons placed in his hands by Con-
gress, they have tolerated it in the
vague hope that some good might come of
1t. Itseems now to have become unpopular
with the Canadians. and even one member
of the commission itself is talking about the
prospect in way that points to the conclu-
sion that he has little faith that anything
will come Of it.
From the moment that Canada began to
harass our fishermen and refuse them any
privileges In her ports, she has had one OBJ
ject in view. 1t was not to protect her coast
fisheries, for they were not in danger, and
even If they had been, it was not in the line
OF protecting them TO refuse to deep sea
American fishermen the privilege of buying
bait In her ports. But it was to force
this country to admit Canadians to share
In our markets on equal terms with our own
fishermen. In other words, Canada wanted the
American Congress TO remove the duty from
American fish. That purpose has always
been kept steadily in view and is to-day
A settlement that does not inclade this will
never be satisfactory to her and will never
be ratified by the British commission if she
can help It, On the other hand, what the
United States fishermen do not want is the
removal OF this same duty on fish. To them
1t means extinction, and the transfer of the
fishing business to Canadian boats and crews.
And the United States Senate will not con-
sent to any settlement of the question which
involves the removal of this duty. no mat
ter what the American commissioners NAV
say or do about it. If the English commits
sioners support Canada's wishes in this mat
ter TO their full extent the commission will
come to naught. The only prospect of a set
Element, therefore, lies in the ignoring in
whole or in part by the British commission
ers of Canada's desires. Mr. Chamberlan's
recent speech seemed to show that he might
not be disposed to back up the Dominion as
vigorously as the Canadians desire, and
now it looks as IL the Canadian press had
begun whipping in process on him. The
great Importance of the Dominion to Eng
land is being pointed out, and the necessity

Lawrence Barrett. and Edwin Booth.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. Ain very interesting in
terview with Lawrence Barrett the actor last
evening, that gentleman told reporter that the
relations and arrangements at present existing
between himself aud Mr.. Edwin Booth will re-
main SIS they are until one of them dies; that
they regard the enterprise as only the COM
mencement of greater things, the beginning of
a movement for the better, and that they look
forward to work which will be in the line of
their own endeavor, and be for the good of the
stage It was learned from intimate friend
of Mr.. Barrett that the plans for the future of
the two tragedians include the securing in New
York, within two years, of a theater. either by
leasing old or building new one, which
shall be devoted to the production of legitimate
drama in the best form and style, and become
to the American metropolis what Irvings
Lyceum is TO London. Mr.. Barrett has just
written article for the North American on the
authorship of Shakspeare's plays, in which he
treats the subject from an actors stand point,
and he expresses the belief that it contains
piece of new evidence.

arrived from the Arctic ocean with the largest
catch of oil and bone ever taken by one vessel.
Her catch is twenty-eight whales, making 2, 800
barrels of oil and as, 900 pounds of bone. She
killed in all thirty-fve whales, but could not
stow any more than twenty-eight She turned
over two to the steamer Thrasher, got the bone
from the other three and cut them adrift Fig
uring the oil at so cents per gallon, it would
bring 1884, 600, and the bone at So so pound
would be 1872. $50. making the total value of the
catch about $266, $50. The last three seasons
have demonstrated the fact that steam whalers

Bauldry's last voyage.
